Eco Village

Eden has been designed around a 2,320 acre Valley that will allow
us to be able to grow all the food we would ever need, where we can build
all our own naturally passive solar homes in a circle of homesteads all
around the rim of this unique and beautiful Valley.

The Spirit of Place

To link people up with a real
Connection to the Land and to reinforce their commitment to this community each of
those individuals, couples or extended
family groups who live in Eden will each be given
5 acres of Eden to build a home on, grow food on and to live on.

3 acre Homesteads

This is the place for you to build
a home on within a one acre Circle within
which you will do most of the things
you do around your home and on a
Homestead.

There you may do some gardening, plant
some trees, keep some animals, build a
workshop or a greenhouse and maybe a cabin for your friends.

The other 2 acres
of the Homestead are
to be left as wild and free as we find
them to protect the natural flow of the
land around them.

The Farm Sites

Another 2 acres
goes along with each Homestead
and right across from it as much as
possible.

These are the Farm Sites where you may be able to do some serious small
farming, and to practice the
Natural Art of Permaculture on.

Or you may want to just grow
your own food on that to have for sale and trade within in the community and beyond.

Self - Sustainability

Some people will
be able to make a fairly
good living right off their own Farm Sites,
and that could be enough to support our
self quite well.

Others will have a lot of other things
that they may do as artists, musicians,
and alternative builders and eco-designers and creators of natural
products of all kinds.

The Community Farm

This will probably be about 300 acres in raspberries out in the valley
that is run like a Community
Business to create jobs and to support
our own Sustainable Micro-Economy.

Village Foods

We will probably want to have our own home grown natural food store in the nearby town of Willits
which is about 3
hours North of the Golden Gate Bridge.

There we will be able to sell some of the
things we will be producing in Eden.

This will create even more jobs and a
steady flow of income that will circulate in many different ways.

Ancient Valley

There
will be a large camping and retreat
area which already has 2 beautiful lakes
in it and that will be set aside as a natural area along with the
surrounding mountains.

That will be left very much the way it is right now and will be used only
minimally that will not be developed in any way except for Green Burials way up
in the farthest reaches.

Eden Village

There will be a large 64 acre area along one of the many Creeks that will be
where Eden Village is actually centered and that area will be set aside for
Community purposes.

There we will have meetings or other community
activities, like art and music and workshops and Chautaqua style story telling celebrations
of freedom and abundance.

Child Centered

Everything we do here is for the Children. They are the future Children of Eden.

It is for that reason that Eden is
considered to be more of a Womens' Centered Community as we now must learn to
honor the new Voices of the Feminine Spirit.

Women are the child bearers, and
raising healthy and happy children
in a Human Scale EcoVillage Community Environment is something that no
amount of money can buy without Good Mothers.

Wilderness Area

We are backed up against over 50 thousand acres of extensive Protected Wilderness lands all along the east side of the
valley that runs right up into Mendocino National Forest and beyond. We have worked very
hard to get this turned into a designated wilderness area.

Over 700 Members

We do have a fairly large email group now, and that is now expanding rapidly. To Join just send a

The Eden Journal

The next four issues of The Eden Journal
will still be
sent to your door for only a $10.00
contribution. Or you can make a more truly supportive donation
if you would like using the donation button below, or you can just send that in
the mail.

Contributions

We can only continue on with this very meaningful work with a little more generous support
as you might have guessed, from at least a few people,
who will back us like a rock star.

Those who really can do a little more for the greater good, really might
want to send in something more like Thirty Five Dollars once in a long while
just so that, wee will have something real from you to work with, so that
wee may continue on with this wee little project. In return we will send you
a copy of the Eden Journal and the new DVD.

We will honor anything over a hundred dollars
in writing within our email group, and we will send you a free copy of the Eden
Journal and the full 42 minute animated DVD, and we will mention that in the email group and that will
be counted towards your Contribution Pledge if you wish, just as a token
of our appreciation. We do everything we can with you kind words and generous support.
